Scientific Names

• We only know a fraction of all the
• organisms that exist or have existed
• on Earth.
• Taxonomists give a unique scientific
• name to each species they know
• about whether its alive today or
• extinct.

6
Scientific Names

• The scientific name comes from one of two dead
  languages
• Latin or ancient Greek.

Why use a dead language?
They are static dont change
7
So Why Use a Scientific Name?
Maybe if we use an example using an animal you
know.

• There are at least 50 common names for the animal
  shown on the previous 7 slides.
• Common names vary according to region.
• Soooowhy use a scientific name?

It is unique for that organism!
16
Scientific Names

• Helps eliminate confusion as to which organism
  you are dealing with.
• Thus the Mountain Lion is known as . . .
• Puma concolor

17
Scientific Names

• Man Homo sapiens
• Dog Canis familiaris
• White Oak Tree Quercus alba
• House Cat Felis cattus
• The Rules of the Name
• Always binominal (2 parts)
• Genus and species
• Underline or italics
• Capitalize genus, species lower case

18
Five Kingdom SystemCan you name them?

• Monera
• Protista
• Fungi
• Animalia
• Plantae

19
Small Things in All KingdomsBut Mostly Protists
and Monera
20
Big Things in 3 Kingdoms
21
Monera Kingdom

• Unicellular,microscopic
• No nucleus
• Prokaryotic
• Most Heterotrophic
• Saprophytic or parasitic
• Bacteria, Archaea
• Some Autotrophic
• Cyanobacteria

22
Protista Kingdom

• Generally single celled microscopic
• Nucleus present
• Eukaryotic
• Autotrophic or heterotrophic

Amoeba
Euglena
23
Fungi Kingdom

• Generally multi celled
• Nucleus present
• Eukaryotic
• Made up of hyphae
• No root, stem and leaf
• Heterotrophic
• Saprophytic or parasitic
• Sessile
• not move
• Reproduce by forming spores

24
Plantae Kingdom

• Generally multi celled
• Nucleus present
• Eukaryotic
• Autotrophic
• photosynthesis
• Sessile
• Not move
• Can be divided into . .
• Non-flowering plants
• Flowering plants

25
Animalia Kingdom

• Generally multi celled
• Nucleus present
• Eukaryotic
• Heterotrophic
• Mobile
• Divided into 9 major phyla
• Need to be able to identify by sight

26
Animal Kingdom Continued

• If I have a backbone I am a
• VERTEBRATE
• If I do not have a backbone I am an
• -INVERTEBRATE

27
1. Porifera (Sponges)

• Don't have mouths
• have tiny pores in their outer walls through
  which water
• is drawn. Cells in the sponge walls
• Cells filter food from the water
• Water is pumped through the body unidirectionaly

28
2. Coelenterata / Cnidaria

• Comb jellies, corals, jellyfish,
• sea anemones, sea pens,
• and freshwater hydra.
• Radially symmetrical
• One opening
• Mouth is surrounded by tentacles that are used
  to capture food, and opens into a cavity which is
  used for digestion.
• Specialized stinging cells

29
3. Platyhelmethes (Flatworm)

• Long and flattened body
• Free living or parasitic
• One opening

4. Nematode (Roundworms)
Long, cylindrical and body Most of them are
parasites

• Two openings (mouth anus)

32
6. Molluscs

• Snails, slugs, squid, octopi,
• and bivalves
• Soft and un-segmented body
• Most covered by a hard shell

33
7. Arthropoda

• Segmented body
• Have a hard exoskeleton and several pairs of
  jointed legs
• Divided into 4 classes
• - Crustaceans
